Friends of Ottawa County Parks offer free fishing night

The Ottawa County Parks Department is offering a family fishing night from 6 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 22 at the Black Lake boardwalk on Lake Macatawa. The Friends of Ottawa County Parks will provide bait and poles for the free event so children can fish. Several experienced fishermen will be on hand to assist those that need help.

Those older than 18 years of age need to purchase a fishing license before participating in the event.

Black Lake Boardwalk is located on Lake Macatawa, 2265 Ottawa Beach Road, Holland, just before the entrance to Holland State Park.
